There shall be no

In order to continue
safeguarding our students in our care, College Summit, Inc. dba PeerForward,
will conduct criminal background checks for new and re-registered users who
will be serving in volunteer and seasonal contractor positions. PeerForward
Advisors registering with a partner school will not need to conduct a
background check. An applicant's gender and birth date are required in order to
conduct a criminal background check. This information will be used solely for
background check purposes and will not influence the applicant selection
process beyond a criminal check.
As part of completing your
profile or volunteer application you will be allowed to create a user ID and
password for logging into our system. However, you will not be placed with or
allowed to serve in any positions until you have been approved for service
based upon the results of your background checks. Should you be disqualified as
a result of your background check, your ability to log into our system will be
disabled.
